The 10 Commandments in Scripture
Exodus 20
LIBER EXODUS 20
5 Non adorabis ea neque coles, quia ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, Deus zelotes,
visitans iniquitatem patrum in filiis in tertiam et quartam generationem eorum,
qui oderunt me,
6 et faciens misericordiam in milia his, qui diligunt me et custodiunt praecepta
mea.
7 Non assumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum, nec enim habebit insontem Dominus
eum, qui assumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra.
8 Memento, ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
9 Sex diebus operaberis et facies omnia opera tua;
10 septimus autem dies sabbatum Domino Deo tuo est; non facies omne opus tu et
filius tuus et filia tua, servus tuus et ancilla tua, iumentum tuum et advena,
qui est intra portas tuas.
11 Sex enim diebus fecit Dominus caelum et terram et mare et omnia, quae in eis
sunt, et requievit in die septimo; idcirco benedixit Dominus diei sabbati et
sanctificavit eum.
12 Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longaevus super terram, quam
Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
13 Non occides.
14 Non moechaberis.
15 Non furtum facies.
16 Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
17 Non concupisces domum proximi tui: non desiderabis uxorem eius, non servum,
non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum nec omnia, quae illius sunt ”.
Dt
4:1-2, 6-8
Moses said to the people:
"Now, Israel, hear the statutes and decrees
which I am teaching you to observe,
that you may live, and may enter in and take possession of the land
which the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
In your observance of the commandments of the LORD, your God,
which I enjoin upon you,
you shall not add to what I command you nor subtract from it.
Observe them carefully,
for thus will you give evidence
of your wisdom and intelligence to the nations,
who will hear of all these statutes and say,
‘This great nation is truly a wise and intelligent people.'
For what great nation is there
that has gods so close to it as the LORD, our God, is to us
whenever we call upon him?
Or what great nation has statutes and decrees
that are as just as this whole law
which I am setting before you today?"
LIBER DEUTERONOMII 4
1 Et nunc, Israel, audi praecepta et iudicia, quae ego doceo vos, ut
facientes ea vivatis et ingredientes possideatis terram, quam Dominus, Deus
patrum vestrorum, daturus est vobis.
2 Non addetis ad verbum, quod vobis loquor, neque auferetis ex eo; custodite
mandata Domini Dei vestri, quae ego praecipio vobis.
6 et observaretis et
impleretis opere. Haec est enim vestra sapientia et intellectus coram populis,
ut audientes universa praecepta haec dicant: “En populus sapiens et
intellegens, gens magna haec!”.
7 Quae est enim alia natio tam grandis, quae habeat deos appropinquantes sibi,
sicut Dominus Deus noster adest cunctis obsecrationibus nostris?
8 Et quae est alia gens sic inclita, ut habeat praecepta iustaque iudicia, sicut
est universa lex haec, quam ego proponam hodie ante oculos vestros?
